-7,14,-28,56,-112

an = a1(r)^n-1

a4 = -7(-2)^4-1

a4 = -7(-2)³

a4 = -7(-8)

a4 = 56

an = a1(r)^n-1

a5 = -7(-2)^5-1

a5 = -7(-2)⁴

a5 = -7(16)

a5 = -112

Bowl A contains 6 apples and 3 mangoes this can be written as, Bowl B contain 8 apples and 2 mangoes this can be written as. Wha

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Bowl B contains 2 apples more than Bowl A and Bowl A contains 1 mango more than Bowl B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of apples in Bowl A = 6

Number of mangoes in Bowl B = 8

Difference in apples = 8 - 6 = 2

So, Bowl B contains 2 apples more than Bowl A.

Number of mangoes in Bowl A = 3

Number of mangoes in Bowl B =2

Difference in mangoes = 3 - 2 = 1

So, Bowl A contains 1 mango more than Bowl B.

Use the identity (x2+y2)2=(x2−y2)2+(2xy)2 to determine the sum of the squares of two numbers if the difference of the squares of

fomenos

Answer:

The sum of the squares of two numbers whose difference of the squares of the numbers is 5 and the product of the numbers is 6 is 169

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : the difference of the squares of the numbers is 5 and the product of the numbers is 6.

We have to find the sum of the squares of two numbers whose difference and product is given using given identity,

$(x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2-y^2)^2+(2xy)^2$

Since, given the difference of the squares of the numbers is 5 that is $(x^2-y^2)^2=5$

And the product of the numbers is 6 that is $xy=6$

Using identity, we have,

$(x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2-y^2)^2+(2xy)^2$

Substitute, we have,

$(x^2+y^2)^2=(5)^2+(2(6))^2$

Simplify, we have,

$(x^2+y^2)^2=25+144$

$(x^2+y^2)^2=169$

Thus, the sum of the squares of two numbers whose difference of the squares of the numbers is 5 and the product of the numbers is 6 is 169

Pls help me for brainliest answer

Ket [755]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

$a)3n + 4 \\ \\n = 1 \\ 3 \times 1 + 4 \\ 3 + 4 \\ =7 \\ \\ n = 2 \\ 3 \times 2 + 4 \\ 6 + 4 \\ = 10 \\ \\ n = 3 \\ 3 \times 3 + 4 \\ 9 + 4 \\ = 13 \\ \\ n = 4 \\ 3 \times 4 + 4 \\ 12 + 4 \\ = 16 \\ \\ n = 10 \\ 3 \times 10 + 4 \\ 30 + 4 \\ = 34 \\$

So in this sequence,

1st term = 7

2nd term = 10

3rd term = 13

4th term = 16

10th term = 34

$b)4n - 5 \\ \\ n = 1 \\ 4 \times 1 - 5 \\ 4 - 5 \\ = - 1 \\ \\ n = 2 \\ 4 \times 2 - 5 \\ 8 - 5 \\ = 3 \\ \\ n = 3 \\ 4 \times 3 - 5 \\ 12 - 5 \\ = 7 \\ \\ n = 4 \\ 4 \times 4 - 5 \\ 16- 5 \\ = 11 \\ \\ n = 10 \\ 4 \times 10 - 5 \\ 40 - 5 \\ = 35$

In this sequence,

1st term = -1

2nd term = 3

3rd term = 7

4th term = 11

10th term =35

Given two complementary angles, 3x and (x - 2). Find the value of x.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

x = 23°

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Complementary angles measure 90°

3x + (x - 2)° = 90°

=> 3x + x - 2° = 90°

=> 4x - 2° = 90°

Add the additive inverse of -2 to both sides of the equation

i.e 4x - 2° + 2° = 90° + 2°

=> 4x = 92°

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x which is 4

=> 4x/4 = 92°/4

x = 23°

A line passes through the point (2, 10) and has a y-intercept of 4. What is the equation of the line? Help me please

joja [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's a straight line the use formula

$y = mx + c$

m= gradient of line

c = y-intercept

we know that y-intercept is 4 so coordinate is

(0,4)

Equation also passes (2,10)

Use both coordinate to find gradient

m= vertical distance / horizontal distance

= (10-4) / (2-0)

= 3

y = 3x + 4
